instructions following are to be repeated across row or for the number of stitches or times specified4 ,illustration3 knitters ,,basic ,,needs ,,and ,,know ,,how4444 ,,yarns3 ,yarns vary in size1 twist and texture4 ,use the 8,dawn0 ,yarn indicated in the directions as only an experienced expert knitter knows how to allow for the difference when a substitution is made4 ,it is also very important to purchase all the yarn needed at one time as different dye lots frequently have different shades of color4 ,when you purchase your yarn always check the dye lot number to make certain they are all the same4 ,it is much wiser to purchase a little extra yarn than to try and match the dye lot after your garment is finished4 ,though the color may look the same in the skein more often than not the difference will be seen in the finished work4 ,the 8ply0 of yarn means the number of strands twisted together4 ,this can be seen by taking the end of the yarn and untwisting4 ,,fundamentals ,,some ,,tips ,learn the basic stitches4 ,there are only three3 ,knit1 ,purl and slip4 ,all the others are produced by variations and in combination with yarn overs4 ,see page #aj4 ,practice first with heavy yarn and thick needles4 ,study the stitch and the position it takes on the needle4 ,follow arrows in illustration4 ,learn to recognize when it is wrong4 ,watch the yarn to see where each loop of the stitch begins and ends4 ,if you lay your knitting aside for a few days or longer1 always rip back a few rows before starting again4 ,this will prevent an uneven row4 ,see page #ab for ripping back4 ,parentheses in our instructions are used for an explanation of a st1 a certain section of a garment1 or change of sts for change of size4 ,a ,,row is once across the needle4 ,a ,,ridge is #b rows1 back and forth4 ,,work ,,even1 means to continue in pattern st keeping the continuity of the design4 ,always ,,measure straight up and down unless otherwise stated4 ,,winding ,,wool ,winding the wool correctly is important4 ,never wind wool tightly as this stretches it4 ,wind several strands around fingers1 slip these from fingers4 ,over these strands1 in opposite direction1 wind a few more strands wrapping yarn around fingers and ball4 ,continue in this manner1 always winding over fingers and in opposite direction from last winding4 ,,left ,,hand ,,knitting3 ,follow the instructions but change your copy to read left hand where it says 8right hand0 and vice versa4 ,use a mirror to study diagrams and charts4 ,this will reverse the image for you4 ,,joining ,,yarns 444 ,if possible1 join the new yarn with a knot at the beginning of a row4 ,if this cannot be done1 work next st with new yarn leaving a #d inch length4 ,work a few sts1 tie the ends firmly and with a yarn needle weave ends into work4 ,,marker 444 ,this term is used whenever it is important that a certain point is to be marked4 ,example3 increase1 decrease1 beginning of a row or round1 buttonholes1 center st1 etc4 ,to make a marker of yarn1 use a different color2 make a slip knot leaving ends about #b inches in length4 ,place on needle as directed4 ,slip marker off one needle to the other needle in each successive round4 ,,multiple ,,of ,,sts 444 ,this term is used generally at beginning of directions and means that a certain multiple of sts is necessary to work one pattern4 ,example3 multiple of #d sts would mean any number divisible by #d or #ab1 #af1 #bd sts1 etc4 ,a multiple of #d plus #b would be #ad1 #ah1 #bf sts1 etc41 or any number that has #b more sts after dividing by #d4 ,,needle ,,types ,,straight ,,needles 444 are used when working back and forth in rows4 ,they come in lengths of #aj1 #ab1 and #ad inches and sizes ,o-#a-b-c1 etc4 ,the larger the number1 the thicker the needle4 ,,double ,,pointed ,,needles 444 come in sets of #d or #e4 ,they are used for socks1 mittens and any articles made in rounds4 ,,circular ,,needles 444 are used in making skirts1 or parts of garments when a seam is not desired2 also in completing a large doily or a round tablecloth4 ,directions give the size and type needle required and it is not advisable to change the size unless it is necessary in order to obtain the correct gauge4 ,,cable ,,needles 444 are short with a bend in the center to hold sts from slipping off4 ,they are available in thin or thick size for the different yarns4 ,a short double pointed needle may also be used4 ,it is a good idea after placing sts on the straight needle to be used for cable to stick needle into garment slightly1 this will prevent sts from slipping off needle4 ,,stitch ,,holders 444 are used to hold sts to be used later4 ,example3 sts at back of neck or when all sts are cast on and worked to armholes1 then divided for front and back4 ,the stitch holders can be purchased or a safety pin or length of yarn may be used4 ,,stitch ,,counters 444 usually placed on knitting needles4 ,they have a dial and after working a row1 turn the dial to the next number4 ,,bobbins 444 usually made of plastic to hold small amounts of yarn for use in making argyle socks or the ,fair ,isle1 ,scandinavian or ,ski patterns4 ,,gauge 444 ,the stitch gauge which appears at the beginning of all instructions is most important to the size and fit of your garment4 ,before starting1 make a sample swatch of the pattern stitch with the needles and yarn specified4 ,if you have ,,more sts than gauge use ,,larger needles4 ,if you have ,,less sts than gauge use ,,smaller needles4 ,check your gauge as you progress to assure a perfectly sized garment1 ,ill4 ,no4 #a4 ,illustration3 #a ,,casting ,,on ,allow about inch for each st for fine yarn and #a inch for each st for heavy yarn4 ,make a slip knot on needle1 ,ill4 ,no4 #b4 99 ,hold needle

is method used to shape a garment for a 8professional look04 ,steps to follow3 #a--;,conceal all ends3 run ends through several stitches on wrong side4 ,if yarn is heavy or bulky1 split strand and run ends through several stitches4 #b--;,determine whether garment is to be washed4 ,if so1 wash each section separately by hand or machine wash garment according to specific instructions on yarn label or commercial laundering product4 ,most garments stretch larger when wet4 ,care1 therefore1 should be taken in handling wet sections4 ,squeeze gently in the washing1 ,,do ,,not ,,twist or ,,wring4 ,rinse thoroughly4 ,place in turkish towel and squeeze out excess moisture4 ,place on turkish towel to dry4 ,if sections of garment appear to be too big1 adjust sections to measure by pushing sections into slight puckers4 ,puckers will disappear when sections dry4 #c--;,always use the stitch gauge given as a guide for blocking4 ,instructions are written for the average in any size1 see page #ad for our sizes4 ,any slight adjustment for individual size should be made in the blocking4 #d--;,after measurements have been determined1 place the sections individually and wrong side up on a well padded
